For those who wonder, in metric system :
-450g coconut cream
-180g white rhum
-750g frozen pineaple
-90g simple sirup
-250ml of ice cubes


from what i have tried :

-you can skip the ice if all your ingredients are cold ( less than 15°C/59°F)
-you can use an homemade coconut milk instead of coconut cream (mix 500ml of hot water with 125g of dried coconut)
-if you decide to froze a fresh pineaple, you can use the peel to make pineaple sirup or tepache

I want one! Looked so good. I used to make piñas with condensed milk, coconut cream, rum and pineapple juice.

Thanks for this recipe! This was the BEST pina colada I have ever made! This is a drink I LOVE. Now I have the book "How to Cocktail" ATK ROCKS! I used a 12oz wine glass for serving. PERFECTION! I also followed the recipe using ounces (weight measurement) from the book.

luv that ATK is doing drinks - but what about apps(not on your phone), tapas or even if you wanna be really fancy amuse-bouche?

Coconut milk is equal parts coconut and water, not milk.

[josephgitter]

Summer is over, so the timing isn’t awesome. But this sounds like a great recipe!

These are so good even without the rum... (we don’t drink)

[Honestly]

Would be cool if there were links to the coconut and rum that won!

[lrvogt]

My guests have been very pleased with this recipe:
2 Plantation 3 Stars Rum
2 Pineapple Juice
1 Cream of Coconut
1/4 Lime Juice (adds acidity to the pineapple)
1/8 Orgeat (adds nuttiness to the coconut)
5 drops Saline (enhances the overall flavor)

Coconut cream okay, which brand is the best 0:26

Interesting what happens to a floater when poured onto a frozen drink: Apparently, a good portion of it sinks. I don't think that this is a bad thing. This way, with your straw at the bottom of the glass, you'll get hit with blasts of rum both at the beginning and at the end of the drink.
